Get Paid $75/Day to Stay Home! | Working the Sugar Beet Harvest

[@Yodie208]

If you are going to work on your own truck, I would highly suggest that you buy a Chilton's repair manual. There are also digital versions of technical manuals for your specific truck too. Some shops offer free diagnostics and will give you a printout for the specific problem from the professional technical manuals that they use as today's vehicles are highly complex and the days of the shadetree mechanic are long gone.

[@OpenRoading]

Yeah. I think I learned if it's beyond a fuel filter or oil filter to take it to the pros. Until I decide to try something else...-J

[@GaryRupp-fe6ly]

But you’ll never do that again 😂 it’s called experience so awesome to know what the mechanics are talking about etc etc. love kaylyns sweet hug of reassurance classic great woman and friend. ❤

[@OpenRoading]

Nope I will never do anything fuel line related (except change my filters) ever again. 😂 -J

[@SaltySouthTexan]

You guys should get your TWIC cards and do Refinery turnarounds…….12 hour days , 7 days a week for 40-60 days at a time. You can make 30-40 an hour plus OT an double time. Work a a fire attendant or hole watch.

[@OpenRoading]

Had never heard of these until you mentioned. I think that wouldn't work for our specific situation because we need something where we can split our time between our own work (video editing, writing etc) and the job. We actually found a pretty sweet gig that lets us do exactly that! More to come. -J

[@tomstocks]

Where can I get information about refinery turnarounds. Thank you.

[@rowanmulvey8632]

Refinery turnarounds??? Please tell us more about this!

+1 for Ryan Hall! Hiking through all that leaf litter makes me think of all the ticks hanging out in it.

[@OpenRoading]

LOVE Ryan Hall! 😁 We've found him particularly helpful for travel since he's always giving the broad overview of the country. We had a big issue with ticks in Indiana last spring - so far none (that we've seen) this year. 🤞🏻 -J

At most of the big auto parts stores sell repair kits for plastic hi pressure lines. The problem I have is finding someone at the auto parts that know what they have. Look in the help catalog. I'm sure you have already fixed it. But if there is a next time......

For the Ford truck it might be egr valve, you can clean it with brake cleaner or get a new egr valve. Diesel trucks are known with that problem, all the sutt builds up in there.

[@OpenRoading]

It could be. We had the whole EGR replaced in 2021 so I hope it's not that already...but you never know! Thanks for that idea. I'll see if I can get that looked at. -J

[@cherifroehling6593]

Joseph, don’t feel bad about the truck- that stuff even happens at the dealership. Now, get you some hearing protection for work! You need it!😜

[@OpenRoading]

I'm not sure how I feel about dealerships making that bad of a mistake... 😳😂 One of my co-workers got on my case about ear protection so after day 1 I wore it all of the time....most of the time....well I wore it. 😀 Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment! -J

[@LloydsofRochester]

It's better to actually wear it. Hearing aids stink.

[@annwilliams1082]

I believe the video Joseph is working on is the one where he left the home in a Walmart parking lot. He had to go get the new tires put on the wheels. Really enjoy y'alls travels and adventures. Happy Thanksgiving.

Hey you guys just saw this on KZbin and said hey I know them. 😂 old school the only way, but just 75.00 a day at the factory or from on top of that? Cool you guys glad I subscribed ❤

[@OpenRoading]

Gary! I need some help - is this Gary from The Park Store?! -J

[@OpenRoading]

And to answer your question - the $75 a day was stay pay for the days we didn't work due to weather. On the days we worked we got paid hourly for 8 hours and time and a half for 4 hours, then time and a half on Saturday and double time on Sunday. (A little confusing... but the short of it was you didn't want the weekends to get cancelled due to weather. 😂) -J

@@OpenRoading no I’m in the United States and started watching Craig and Victoria several months ago and really enjoy the RV living. I recently bought a 2007 40ft Forest River-All American toy hauler from a friend whom had to relocate to North Dakota. It’s so beautiful and well taken care of would love to show you pictures and of my 🐕 dogs etc. Alaska is my dream however watching you guys and the tour, the dream is still off a few years.. So I would see you guys here and there on G. And V.s videos, then I seen the one where kaylyn was getting hit for 10 pounds and that video was so classic I subscribed.. no sir I drive semi for a Dairy and am semi retired at 64.. the more I watch you guys the more hooked I am.. KZbin has been putting some of your older stuff on and seen the one with the beet and green money 💰. So seeing your older videos answers a lot of questions.. I’m a God fearing man Whom love down to earth wholesome entertainment and there ya are..👍❤️

[@stcroixpaintingpros5586]

I bet the truck is overdue for new spark plugs. You should change those and the wires for a quick tune up! I know you probably hated the mistake cutting the gas line,, but it was definitely fun to watch. Lol, my wife has had to calm me down after scenarios like this too & I related with that part so much😂

[@OpenRoading]

Thanks so much for commiserating with me in my ineptness. With this being the threshold of your entertainment enjoyment.....You will really enjoy next weeks video. 😂 As to the spark plugs ours is a diesel so we have glow plugs instead - I don't know if that changes the math on maintenance for them or not. I have had some people suggest I may want to look into getting the injectors looked at. 😳 -J

[@lyfandeth]

The math for glow plugs is different, since they are only in use for a short time to start the engine. Unlike spark plugs, which are in use every minute an engine is running. Since you have to pull the injectors and take them to a shop, which may work on them in a day or two, sometimes it is much easier to order a new set of injectors at a discount. Install them, then you are not tied up waiting for the shop. You put the old ones away to either use as spares, or so you can swap out agsin, just as easily next time.

[@OpenRoading]

@@lyfandeth I'm thinking after this experience if I do anything with injectors I'm either taking it to a shop, or teaming up with someone who knows what they are doing. I want to continue to learn this stuff, but I also need to know my limits when I'm working on my own. 😂-J

[@stephenscering1776]

It's amazing how some people know way too much and others don't know a damn thing! It's usually said the quiet ones are the smart ones! Keep up the talk , I hope zero people take your advice since in this case it's 100% completely wrong and unwarranted!

i think his jelly amount is about right. a pretty even mix of PB and J. buuuut for a bet, no jelly on 4 random sandwiches of your choice would be funny. imagine if that sammich at 06:04 was just peanut butter hahaha and you would have 3 more times that you could surprise him with a sandwich like that

[@user-sy2fy4eq8v]

Straight dry shave. Lol

[@LloydsofRochester]

You don't have rain gear for your motorcycle? There is some nice stuff out there that's even yellow so that you're safer on the road. And I don't know about america, but when I was in Asia I had a motorcycle cover to keep it dry, and not have the finish damaged by the uv, because it was either rainy or really sunny. Do you have saddlebags? Makes things a bit easier.

[@OpenRoading]

I've got some rain gear - just no pants. For the moment I try to avoid riding if there is going to be rain. I do have a motorcycle cover - I've damaged the plastic quite a bit on my own with a couple laydowns 😂 No sun required. No saddlebags yet. One of the many things I plan on getting eventually when the budget allows. -J
